Honorable Mention, Recipe 8- Quick Brown Rice Breakfast

This was my breakfast yesterday and I am so happy to share it with you all.  This is from Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet Vegetarian Cookbook and it is vegan as well as gluten-free- a double whammy!  The fact that it only takes 5 minutes or so to whip up just makes it even better.  Think of this as a quick rice pudding- only it's WAY healthier and only subtly sweet.  For a single serving you start with 1 cup cooked brown rice (I just made mine the day before- this is also a great use for leftovers), and add to that 1 cup unsweetened soy milk, 1/8 cup sliced raw almonds, 1/2 tbsp. ground flaxseed, 1 tsp. pure maple syrup, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.  She doesn't say to heat it up, but I did since it was a chilly morning and I wanted something warm.  This could easily be eaten either way though and you can even make it all the night before and just grab and go in the morning.  Super fast, super convenient, super healthy, and super yummy!  You can't go wrong with that!  That's what earns this dish it's honorable mention- it had everything that I look for in a recipe, and as a bonus it's a great alternative for those who gluten intolerant.  Who says you can't have a warm bowl of goodness in the morning?  With this recipe you can!
